No one asked for this. It's mind-boggling.
The new delay on the burst fire has made these 2 weapons unusable. If you want to use the burst fire now, you have to move at a snails pace and snail-speed peek by pre-adsing. If you ADS mid fight, there is a pretty massive delay before it lets you shoot. It feels awful now. Fractions of a second matter massively in Valorant.
You can no longer play aggressively or reactively alt fire someone or peek someone and burst fire, since when someone pops up you're caught with your pants down and dead before you can shoot.
It was already a challenge juggling the burst fire of these weapons, and now it's just impossible to do. For the past year I practiced very heavily with the stinger in countless deathmatches getting good with such a frankly underpowered weapon, and now it's downright unusable. WTF?
Who thought it was OP to be able to burst fire at will? The stinger had literally a 0.1% pickrate and the Bulldog around 1% (check METASRC). These were tiny niche weapons with the one redeeming quality of a decent burst-fire mode. And every other weapon in the game can still use their alt fire instantly, but not these. Why target these 2 guns only?
I feel like Riot must have watched that one clickbait video about the "double-keybind exploit" and decided to nerf these already underpowered weapons... there's no way they even play their own game.
